Access Issue: RAIN, WET ROCK and RAPTOR CLOSURES: The sandstone around Moab is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Also please ask and be aware of Raptor Closures in areas such as CAT WALL and RESERVOIR WALL in Indian Creek
Details

WET ROCK: Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN MOAB during or after rain.

RAPTOR CLOSURES: Please be aware of seasonal raptor closures at the Cat wall and Reservoir wall. They occur annually from March 31st until August 31st. *Due to the federal hiring freeze in agencies such as the BLM of Monticello, no official closure for 2017 has been issued and the laws which have been put in place in previous years are not being enforced. Please, for the sake of fragile desert ecology, DO NOT CLIMB at stated walls. These raptors return to the same nesting sites every year to raise their nestlings.

Description

Begin up great hands, widening into a brief pod. Find the hidden jugs to pull through the fat crack and back into hands. Work upwards, chimneying and stemming to the finish, protecting with small gear.

Location

20 feet Left of Seaworthy Locate the base of the climb atop a short block in the large left facing corner. Bolted anchors at top.

We just did this on Sat. 10/14. Went up to the Shipyard to do other routes there and came across this, not in any book and a stone sign at the base of the route telling the name and grade. Don't think it's seen action since going up. Lots of loose rock and sand that we cleaned up while doing a couple of laps on it. Truly fun....wide hands, OW, small fingers, this route has it all. Had a blast on it. For me, more fun than the established off-fist cracks next to it that make the area a draw.
